Our Vision
Set up as a not-for-profit social enterprise, we are a group of volunteers organising film screenings at Robert Street Community Centre.
Our goal is always to provide an inspirational, unifying and culturally enriching experience for a wide range of cinema-going members of the local and wider communities – of all ages – in and around Colne, Nelson Barnoldswick and surrounding areas.
Films on our programme range from the mainstream to those titles holding a greater appeal for viewers with alternative interests; e.g., British, archive, independent, documentary and foreign language choices. We also champion and showcase the work of local filmmaking talent, screening, where possible, locally produced short films and videos before the main features.
In the long term, we hope to become an established and cherished part of the local social and arts scenes. Both independently and, at times, in partnership with other community and arts groups, we aim to bring a wealth of family-oriented film events, mini-festivals, young people’s screenings, and themed, ‘immersive’ extravaganzas to the area.

Word of mouth is key to community popularity and our ability to thrive; so please tell others,
and nag them to come along too. Let them know the spirit of cinema is alive in Colne!
